RE: [Samba] Linux permissions vs Samba permissions
On directories, the execute bit means permission to search the directory. That's what the Samba user needs to see files in it. -Original Message- From: Marshall Lucas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 9:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Samba] Linux permissions vs Samba permissions Okay, admittedly I'm running an old version 2.0.5, but, why do I have to set the eXecute permission in Linux before Samba will let a Windows client see any files? Why would execute have anything to do with read and/or write? I would think I could set -rw-rw or -rw-rw-rw- and be just fine, but oh no, you get an empty list and cannot create new files until I change it to -rwxrwx--- or -rwxrwxrwx. -- Marshall Lucas -- IT Systems Analyst -- EDI Specialist -- Petra Industries, Inc. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Linux permissions vs Samba permissions
The x in the permissions of directories controls access to the directory (as in read the contents).

RE: [Samba] Linux permissions vs Samba permissions
Thank you Ken...I had long since forgotten that little caveat. It's amazing what we can forget over time with disuse.
